Hmm.... interesting. There are moments on Deloused where I see the comparison you're making, but GD's psychedelia was much more improvisational and laid-back, but I do think you're on to something. my first GD references for people making such a comparison would be pre 70's Dead like The Eleven and That's it for the Other One....for starters. Its a loose comparison, but stylistically I see the similarities you're talking about.
